Chapter 55. The Great Melee of the Assessment
Wang Liting's words really worked. Many mages with poor defensive capabilities retreated on their own, and the students who couldn't draw star maps also didn't choose to fight for them at this time, but hurriedly retreated to a distance.
This struggle itself is a major test, a test of life and death!
The school has made it clear that unless there is conclusive evidence of intentional injury or death, the school will be solely responsible for any injuries or deaths that occur during the struggle.
So either quit to ensure your safety, or don't blame the school if you accidentally hurt or kill someone. Competition among magicians inherently offers no safety guarantees; everyone is an adult, and adults should be responsible for their own actions.
"Wang Liting, that idiot, why couldn't he hold back so quickly? Does he really think his Bone Eater is invincible? Doesn't he know that this assessment is for all four cohorts of students? There may be a limited number of experts among the freshmen, but there are countless hidden talents among the seniors!" Hai Dafu, also a summoner, said.
"Mo Fan was able to give up the Shadow Beast, so why does he think he can do it alone?" another summoning student said.
"Shall we make our move now?" Hai Dafu pondered.
"No rush. Our summoning system has a huge advantage in early-stage battles, but it's hard to say what will happen in the mid-stages," Zheng Bingxiao said rationally.
"kindness."
Wang Liting and his team ultimately paid the price for their impulsiveness.
Even though the Bone Eater is powerful, it cannot completely dodge when faced with a barrage of mid-level spells exploding in the air.
Moreover, it seems there are many people who would kick someone when they're down.
People may not actually harm anyone's life, but someone like Wang Liting, who possesses powerful summoned creatures, must be eliminated completely.
While the Bone Eater was being restrained by a mid-level ice mage, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, hitting the Bone Eater hard.
Thunderbolt is the most terrifying single-target skill among mid-tier skills. After losing its agile dodging ability, the Bone Eater's body is extremely fragile. That shocking thunderbolt directly blasted the Bone Eater to pieces!
Blood clots and feathers rained down, and Wang Liting stood there, pale-faced, as if the lightning had struck him directly on the head.
Wang Liting's four teammates were clearly not very strong. After enduring several waves of attacks, they lost all their arrogance and dragged the stunned Wang Liting away to escape.
"Hmph, you really overestimate yourself. You dare to challenge our Thunder Crown Group with such meager skills... I'm sure everyone knows who I, Guan Yi, am. If you don't want to end up in a miserable state, then obediently clear your path. If you are bullied by anyone in the future, I will naturally stand up for you out of consideration for our classmate relationship!" Guan Yi took the lead and, together with his four teammates, firmly controlled the Shadow Beast.
The lightning bolt that just destroyed the Bone Eater was released by him.
Guan Yi's thunderbolt was indeed domineering, and for a moment no one dared to make a move. Several pretentious guys even hurriedly made way for him.
Guan Yi has quite a reputation. He is an outstanding student in the Lei faction and his name is among the prominent figures!
It is said that he has long possessed the ability to take over the campus, but he has never stepped into it in order to obtain this reward. He understands the importance of the Three-Step Tower better than anyone else.
"What a show-off! I've had my eye on you for ages. Everyone, let's take down this guy who couldn't make it on the main campus and came to the Qing campus to bully others!" A high-pitched voice floated out from the crowd.
The voice clearly belonged to a man; he was probably doing this to avoid being recognized.
"Tidal Wave - Exterminate!!!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than another authoritative voice rang out. While people were still wondering who would dare to make the move, they saw all the water in the spring pool suddenly pumped into the air!
The water floated like a curtain hanging high, with water mist drifting around!
This storm isn't targeting any individual; it's targeting the entire population!
"Water system students, hurry up and clean up! Fewer competitors mean a greater chance of winning!" the person with the high-pitched voice shouted again.
The mid-level water mages naturally had the ability to walk on water, and they quickly retreated to a safe place by walking on the waves. However, their eyes lit up when they saw large groups of people being swept away by the storm waves.
"Surging Waves!!!"
A girl's sharp voice came from behind the maple tree.
"Turbulent Wave!!!" Another water-based star map flashed at the building.
"Turbulent Waves - Surging Tides!"
This time, four cohorts of students are participating together, including some who have already reached the intermediate level two. Their performance will be revealed today!
"Rumble rumble rumble!!!"
The raging waves swept away countless people, turning the entire square into a lake, much like how the water in the Tianhe River during a typhoon submerged the roads and trees, leaving behind a scene of utter devastation!
At this moment, Mo Fan had already used the power of the wind to reach a high place.
To be honest, even he and Silver Moon Wolf couldn't withstand such a bombardment.
However, Mo Fan had originally planned to wait until they fought to the death before making his move. Although there were no shadow-type monsters, with the mind mark, it wouldn't be difficult for Mo Fan to find shadow-type monsters.
After the water element, came the wind element's onslaught; it was, in short, a complete free-for-all.
"Dean, this will definitely lead to someone's death." Zhou Zhenghua couldn't stand it anymore.
"Activate the Night Domination Array to suppress all their power!" Dean Xiao said solemnly.
Fortunately, the melee had only just begun and everyone wasn't completely enraged yet. However, battles can easily escalate to the point of losing control of emotions, and casualties would gradually increase.
The academy couldn't have been completely unprepared for this, and the reason they chose this location is because this land is home to a Night-Ruling Array!
Soon, the dark-elemental domain array was activated.
This is not just a high-level spell, but an array, far stronger than the suppressive power of an ordinary high-level shadow mage!
Only after the domain array was deployed did Mo Fan begin to act.
Even though Mo Fan didn't have any shadow elemental abilities, he quickly found the shadow demon beasts. Although he encountered some obstacles within the formation, he easily defeated them all.
The suppression of the Night Array was indeed outrageous, but he was still a mid-level third-tier magic user.
The damage was just right; a party without causing destruction.
After a fierce battle, Mo Fan sent the Shadow Beast into the fighting cage, thus concluding the competition. At the same time, Mo Fan's team also gained the opportunity to train at the Three-Step Tower.
